Székelyhon.ro wrote that the Romanian Supreme Court rejected the extraordinary review request submitted by the Hargita county municipality regarding the administrative affiliation of the Békás Strait.
According to the report of the Székelyföld news portal, the legal remedies in the border case between Hargita in Székelyföld and Neamt county in Moldova have been exhausted for more than a decade.
Former Hargita County Council Chairman Csaba Borboly announced in November last year that the county government will turn to the Romanian Supreme Court regarding the administrative affiliation of the Békás Strait and request a renegotiation of the border dispute with Moldova's Neamt County.
The Supreme Court ruled the claim to be unfounded and dismissed it in its basic judgment in April. In his final judgment following the appeal, he again decided in favor of rejection.
The lawyers of the Hargita county municipality justified the submission of the extraordinary revision request by saying that, in their opinion, the reasoning of the final verdict in the case last October is contradictory.
At the beginning of October 2023, the Marosvásárhely Court rejected the appeal of the Hargita county municipality in the border trial. In doing so, it upheld the earlier ruling of the Hargita County Court, according to which one of the most significant natural attractions in Transylvania belongs administratively to Neamt County.
The general assembly of Hargita county tried to change the county border for the second time with the lawsuit launched in 2022. The previous trial lasted more than ten years, and the final verdict gave the right to the self-government of the Moldavian county.
In the second lawsuit launched in 2022, the Hargita county municipality asked the court to invalidate the 1998 protocol establishing the administrative boundaries of Gyergyószentmiklós in Hargita county and Almásmező in Neamt county, because the representatives of the two county assemblies did not participate in the boundary determination committee, although this is also a county border.
They also referred to the fact that the border established in the protocol is not the same as the one in the 1968 Law on Administrative Borders in Romania.
Békás-soros, considered one of the greatest attractions in Székelyföld, is a gorge of tectonic origin in the Hagymás Mountains. It was declared protected in 1971, and is currently part of the Békás-szoros - Nagyhağlamas National Park, which is the only national park in Székelyföld. The smaller part of the strait is in Neamt, the larger part is in Hargita County. There are many natural attractions in its area, such as Lake Gyilkos, Nagy-Hagymás or Egyes-kő.
